All fuses for the Volkswagen Passat are contained within the dedicated fuse box installed in the vehicle: this is located on the left side of the dashboard, accessible only by opening the driver's door. Once the door is open, detach the protective panel to access the fuses underneath: here you will find the fuses responsible for the operation of the courtesy lights, horn, dipped headlights, etc. Each fuse present is labelled with the corresponding code and its amperage.

How to Adjust the Rear Seats of the BMW X1

In this video, see how the BMW X1's cargo area can be used to transport large loads. To expand this area, the rear seat can be folded down with a 40/20/40 split, each section can be folded separately or all together. The seats can be adjusted independently to provide more space for passengers or cargo: to do this, pull the handle located at the bottom and push or pull as needed. To position the backrest in the desired position, there is a cordura handle on the left side. Inside the trunk, there are buttons that automatically fold the backrests of the rear seats forward, but only after ensuring they are clear. They can be returned to an upright position manually using the cordura handle.
